The solution of 4x + 9 = 45 is x = 9.

The lines y = 4x + 9 and y = 45 meet at x = 9468101214203040506070x = 9y = 4x + 9y = 45
The lines y = 4x + 9 and y = 45 meet at x = 9. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    4x+9=454x + 9 = 45
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    4x+9−9=45−9 ⇒ 4x=364x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 36
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=364 ⇒ x=9\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{36}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
